Spears wanted the album to represent her Louisiana roots, explaining that she grew up listening to blues.
"When I was little, I would listen to myself [...] But the record label signs you, and you're just thankful to get a hit song. You can't really show off your voice and where you came from. I would like to try to have more influences of that sound. Not that I'm going to be like frickin' Tina Turner. But you never know," she stated. She also said that
she hoped the album would reinvigorate the current pop scene, adding that "It's been boring. Nothing's been wow to me."
Wow, give me the original Blackout too, Knee.
But then Rihanna takes Umbrella.
